The Laundry
INSTALLATION
EN 5
Tumble dryers are supplied to operate at a
voltage of 230V, 50 Hz single phase. Check
that the supply circuit is rated to at least 10A.
Electricity can be extremely dangerous.
This appliance must be earthed.
The socket outlet and the plug on the
appliance must be of the same type.
Do not use multiple adapters and/or
extension leads.
The plug should be accessible for
disconnection after the appliance has been
installed.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following codes:
Blue NEUTRAL
Brown LIVE
Green and Yellow EARTH
CE Appliance complies with European
Directive 89/336/EEC, 73/23/EEC and
subsequent amendments.
Electrical Requirements
If the mains cord on this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord
which is ONLY obtainable from the spares
service. It must be installed by a competent
person.
You may be charged for a service call if a
problem with your machine is caused by
incorrect installation.
Once the machine is in
place the feet should
be adjusted to ensure
that the machine is
level.
Adjusting the Feet
Adequate ventilation must be provided in the
room where the tumble dryer is located to
prevent gases from appliances burning other
fuels, including open fires, being drawn into the
room during operation of the tumble dryer.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue
which is used for exhausting fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
Check regularly that the air flowing through
the dryer is not restricted.
Check the fluff filter after use, and clean, if
necessary.
The inlet and outlets should be kept free from
obstructions. To ensure adequate ventilation
the space between the bottom of the machine
and the floor must not be obstructed. There
should be a gap of at least 12mm between the
machine and any obstructions.
Prevent items from falling or collecting behind
the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlet and
outlet.
NEVER install the dryer up against curtains.
VENTILATION
Do not plug the machine in and switch it on
at the mains until the installation is completed.For
your safety, this dryer must be correctly installed.
If there is any doubt about installation, call GIAS
Service for advice.
VENTILATION
It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer unless the dryer is
situated in a open space with a good air flowaround it. Recirculation of the moist air will prevent the
efficient operation of the dryer.
The hose is assembled to the machine as shown. The hose may be fitted through a wall or through
an open door or window. The hose is 110mm in diameter and will extend 1.8 meters.
The following guidelines should be followed when installing the
discharge hose.
Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will
be reduced.
Do not restrict the flow of air through the hose e.g. by kinking it or fitting
a smaller diameter connector to mount to a wall opening.
Avoid the hose making U shaped curves as this will restrict the flow of
air and increase the chance that water will collect in the hose.
Check the hose regularly to remove any build-up of fluff or water that
may have collected in it.
The following diagrams give examples of good and bad installations.

PREPARING THE LOAD
Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:
Please read this instruction book thoroughly.
Remove all items packed inside drum.

settled in transit.
Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by
the care symbols on each item.
Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place
clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they don't get tangled.

rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).
During the last 15 minutes the load is always
tumbled in cool air.

small articles. For small loads and separate
items or pre-dried fabrics with low moisture
content, use the timed programmes.
Set the programme between 30 and 75 minutes
depending on the load size and dryness
required, and select high or low heat depending
upon the fabric type.
If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer
will only operate for 10 minutes before going
into cooldown.
If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry
the dryer will automatically go into cooldown

DESCRIPTION
Select the degree of dryness that you require. This ranges from
for bath towels and bathrobes, through for items that will be
put away without ironing, to the programme that leaves the laundry
suitable for ironing.
A gentle programme specially created to get woollens softer after
air-drying.This delicate warm air cycle, lasting 12 minutes, can
also be used to get woollens 'refreshed' after being stored in the
wardrobe.
The programme provides a conditioning and anticrease
function. The dryer will heat the load for 9 minutes followed by a 3
minute cool down period and is especially good for garments
which may have been left for some time prior to ironing, in a linen
basket for example. Garments may also become stiffened when
dried outside on a washing line or inside on radiators.
This programme relaxes the creases in the fabric making ironing
quicker and easier.
The 40’ Rapid programme allows a drying cycle to be completed
quickly. This is an ideal programme for having dry, refreshed and
ready-to-wear clothes in less than 40'. This special programme
constantly monitors the dryness and temperature in the drum
thanks to the sensor using, using the exact time and energy you
need! The machine finishes the cycle when the cupboard dry level
is reached. The stated cycle length could vary according to fabric
types, load size and residual moisture in the garments.The
maximum load is 2kg and the programme is suitable for all types of
fabric where tumble drying is appropriate.
